Hello everyone.

I got really interested in the sphere of computer networking and I was wondering what the top books, courses, articles, any other resources are to decently grasp the matter. By computer networking I am referring to all kinds of networking e.g. internet, wired communication between devices, etc.

If there is any good approach to learn the very gist of networking and have a super clear picture of how everything communicating nowadays that you discovered the hard way through your own experience, please share, share, share.

Thank you very much in advance.

P.S. Originally my interest in networking is supported by a much broader topic of computer security.

What I have tried:

I found out about and thought of using "Wireshark" to analyze packets of data recieved by a laptop.

Several time similar questions have been asked here on QA.

The answer stay still the same: buy a book and search an internet. There's no other way. I've seen tons of books with high mark, but when i have start them reading, i was disappointed. You know, every author have own style of writing. Some people love that style, other... doesn't like. BTW: every other answer is opinion based.

Personally i prefer CISCO books.
